Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
If a two-and-a-half-year-old child has influenza B and experiences recurrent fever, parents can take the following measures:
1. Ensure the child gets plenty of rest to boost immunity and help fight the virus.
2. Administer anti-influenza medications as directed by a doctor, such as oseltamivir granules.
3. If the child develops a high fever, use physical cooling methods such as lukewarm water sponge baths or fever-reducing patches; avoid using alcohol rubs, which may irritate the child's skin.
If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly.
